Yosua 1:3

1:3 I am handing over to you every place you set foot, as I promised Moses. ¹ 

Yosua 14:5

14:5 The Israelites followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses and divided up the land. ² 

[1:3]  ¹ tn Heb “Every place on which the sole of your foot walks, to you I have given it, as I said to Moses.” The second person pronouns in vv. 3-4 are plural, indicating that all the people are addressed here. The verbal form נְתַתִּיו (nÿtattiv, “I have given it”) is probably a perfect of certitude, emphasizing the certainty of the action. Another option is to translate, “I have already assigned it.” In this case the verb would probably refer to the Lord’s decree to Abraham that he would give this land to his descendants.

[14:5]  ² tn Heb “Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did, and they divided up the land.”
